Hello I am an old codger with a Lenovo L520 with a display port. My TV accepts HDMI. Will this cable allow me to watch and listen on the TV?

If your lenovo has a display port then yes. This cable converts from the display port and converts to HDMI. If your looking to go from an HDMI output on your computer to your TV then get just an HDMI cable as this is a conversion cable. And yes it carries audio as well as video

At the very least, you would need a displayport to hdmi adapter in order to make the connection from computer to TV. From what i've read, the audio should pass through the adapter.

It should. Apparently the cable i got was defective so returned it and used a HDMI to DVI instead. My display port was on the monitor side. It also had a DVI port. I did not need audio.

Yes sir, should just plug and play. Don't forget to look into mhl cables too, for hdmi ;)

Yes, exactly. I have a Lenovo laptop but otherwise exactly as you say: Mini Display Port to HDMI.

Using the Displayport input, I could not get anything to work. I used an HDMI cable and it worked fine. Do you see the blue power light when you switch it on? If not, maybe defective.

Yes, in most laptops this days you will find an HDMI port, also note you can always search the model of a laptop and go to manufacturer web site to find complete specifications. Thank you,

I am note sure because I use it mostly with my TV, I do not use with my computer/laptop, since it is little older and does not have HDMI..Sorry Vaclav

If your computer has a DVI connection, you should be able to use this cable to display your computer's video output on you HDMI equipped TV. However, since you don't have HDMI output on you computer, it won't provide audio to the TV. You'll need to connect to external speakers for audio.

I've plugged my laptop to my tv (42" panasonic - hdmi), so I guess that I was able. Does this help you?

Let me see if I understand your question. Do you want to use your TV as a monitor for your laptop in order to see (on the big screen) what is playing on the laptop? If your answer is yes, then why not connect your laptop directly to the TV using the proper cable? Without knowing which outputs you have on your laptop, and which inputs you have on your TV, I can not advise you as to what kind of cable to use. The kdLinks HD680 is designed for use with a WIRELESS network which requires that you have a wireless modem. My main PC has 3.5 terabytes of memory storage, and I have my music and video library stored on it. I can watch or listen to anything, stored on my computer, on my big screen TV located 60 feet away in the living room. It is wonderful! The kdLinks also has 2 usb inputs allowing you to hook up to a portable hard drive. It is very possible that you might be able to link your laptop to your TV using one of those. But why? All you really need to do is connect the laptop directly to the TV. I am a HUGE fan of the kdLinks HD680, but it is primarily for use with a wireless network. Give me more information about the outputs on your laptop and the inputs on your TV and I will help you with advice as to which cable you need.

I have both display port and HDMI port on my video card - either will work to power my LG LED TV. my computer is an older XPS 8300 with the standard video card; the video card runs the LG like it was a monitor

Your laptop must have a HDMI output to use this cable. If not, you will need an adapter of some kind. VGA to HDMI or something else that will work with yours.

Depends on the port on your laptop. It'll be either HDMI or mini display port. You have to know the port type.

Your TV MUST have a VGA imput Plug IN and also an INPUT jack for Audio... 3.5 standard. If it doesn't have either of these then you can not connect your laptop to your TV that way. Maybe you just need a HDMI cable.

If I understand your question correctly, no. This cable is intended to connect FROM a DisplayPort output on your laptop to a VGA input on a monitor or projector.

My cable did nothing at all when plugged it into the laptop and then to the tv. It is possible I got a bad cable, and it just didn't work. I also got a new tv and the hdmi port on my laptop works when i use an hdmi cable to connect to the tv from the laptop. I didn't bother sending it back or anything because it was so cheap

Based on the image @http://www.cnet.com/laptops/lenovo-thinkpad-x220/4505-3121_7-34526813.html i would say yes. The port almost looks like an hdmi, but is only beveled on one side. My best guess. BUY IT! YOu will be VERY HAPPY. I took mine to work and every laptop that didn't have the HDMI had the display port and they kept borrowing my adaptor. Heck of a price. Very portable.
